Butterflies have landed

| MichelleMarie

Well all my efforts have paid off my butterfly 🦋 bushes have done their job once again. 🦋💜🦋

Everybody have you heard the Mockingbirds are back?

| MichelleMarie

This sweet little baby is outside my window in the rose bushes chirping and calling for his momma. Momma is a tough bird, she flew over to him, fed him and put her head down and pushed him and he fluttered his wings. Thus begins learning how to fly.
Being a momma isn’t easy, it’s hard to know sometimes when to push and when to let them fend for themselves, it’s a tricky thing. I wish I was more like this momma bird.

This is the second baby it’s on the outside of the bushes so it’s hard to get a good clear photo of it. I have a front row seat from my window. Something interesting, I cut my rose bushes back this year so I wouldn’t have babies, but it seems they found the one place I didn’t prune. The momma knows I’m there because she came up to my window looked right at me and made the noise she makes to warn me. 🙂 I smiled and decided to leave her to her mothering. 🙂 Happy Saturday, may it be a chipper and chirpy as mine. Ha

June 17, 2019 Strawberry Moon

| MichelleMarie

Due to all the storms I struggled to get a decent shot with the clouds I had to focus right on the moon then I lost the clouds. See blow my attempts.

My view from the back porch. No stars were present due to the clouds of course.

Not sure why this is called a Strawberry Moon, it’s more golden I think.

 

The Sunshine Blogger award-from Watt

| MichelleMarie

Watt over at Piers of Beauty and Gaze nominated me for
✿The Sunshine Blogger award.✿ I hope I’m doing this right. ☺

Here are the questions Watt requested we answer:

  • What is one thing that separates you from all your screw ups, almost immediately? My kindness and my laugh. I laugh very loud. I love to laugh and if you know me well you know I like to laugh at myself because I do some really goofy funny things.
     
  • How much do you love people? Other people, people that you believe are pieces of you? I love full on like a puppy dog. If I love you I will reach out for your hand or throw my arm around you. I also make sure I say I love you each time we part just in case because you never know life is too short to wait for the right moment.
  • Lastly, what would you call worse; a pulmonary embolism or an intracranial hematoma. The answer is pretty simple, in my opinion. Well a pulmonary embolism is a blood clot in the lungs which my daughter had once and it was scary as all get out. An intracranial hematoma would be scary and I have a friend who lived through it but definitely I think that one is the worse because while both can take you out of here that one is for sure an instant emergency. 

I’ve made so many lovely friends and read a lot of blogs on WP, I feel many make me feel sunshine so I would like to send this out to everyone who reads this. If you are here and we talk, visit and share I consider you a friend and it would be hard for me to choose one or a few!

Watt I hope that’s okay with you. Thanks for the award. Here’s a sunrise from my backyard for you! ✿ Have a beautiful day ✿

And I thought I learned by now

| MichelleMarie

And I thought I learned by now…and I did
When I find myself in same familiar circumstances
Going round and round on this fair ride

And I thought I learned by now…and I did
I can’t stop myself from watching and looking
I tried not to look, but it’s best for me to see

And I thought I learn by now…and I did
I don’t know who I was back then
Now my heart is older and I know it can break

And I thought I learned by now…and I did
Looking sometimes doesn’t hurt like it did
However that familiar sting reminds me that
I learned by now…and I did

I won’t forget

Rules of the rain

| MichelleMarie

Did you know the rain has rules?
Well…when you live in Oklahoma you quickly
Learn how to spot tornadoes and also
Awesome cloud shots sprinkled with rainbows

The right side of the rainbow


The left side is very faint but it’s there along with the yellow storm sky.


I love a storm.

There, inside the dawn

| MichelleMarie


There, inside the dawn
She had all the answers
If only she could hold them
Wildflowers
Sunrise
Fog
Bliss
There, inside the dawn

Good Morning Sleepyhead

| MichelleMarie

Good morning sleepyhead
I heard you wrestling in your bed
I wondered did you even sleep a wink

I whispered you our good night song
I thought you even sang along
But I’ve noticed you seem to have lost your tune

So I wondered out on starry night
Sent you kisses oh so bright
Hoping they would grace your weary eyes

Very much to my surprise
The sun did crest with such delight
Good night my sweet love~good night

When the storms have passed

| MichelleMarie

When the storms have passed
Though flood waters surround us still
We see things in a different light
We are ever changed
